§ The result
Indeed leads Recruiterflow on all 7 criteria.
Indeed, filed under Sourcing, comes out 14 points above Recruiterflow, filed under ATS-integrated: 50 against 36 under rubric v1.0. Of the 7 criteria Recruiterflow wins none, and the narrowest lead Indeed holds is on Human Oversight Design, Indeed 63 to Recruiterflow 58. Even Article 11 Technical Documentation, the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Indeed 58, Recruiterflow 33, 20% weight), is only 36% of the weighted advantage Indeed builds across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +14.0 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 14.0 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +14 beside that +14.0.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
